Chris Calkins has assembled a group of artists who express their creativity through winemaking.

Artistic Wines is a Gallery where you can discover some of the most talented winemakers in the world. The focus is primarily on American winemakers but on occasion wines from other countries are featured such Azul Profundo and Nomad from Chile.

As Chris travels around the country he speaks of the opportunity each of us has to collect wine as we do art. Besides the pleasure we get from the wine we also are supporting the art of winemaking. Unless the public embraces the small artisan producers worldwide the only choice will be mass produced wines which are driven primarily by commerce not passion and art.
